National Walking Month
MAY IS LIVING STREETS' NATIONAL WALKING MONTH!
Walking is one of the easiest ways to improve our health and stay connected to our community, helping us feel less lonely and isolated.
This year, we're inviting you to discover the #MagicOfWalking and celebrate the many health and happiness benefits of walking and wheeling.
We want to know what makes walking magical for you! Does it create a space for you to connect with your loved ones? Or does it simply allow you to tune out of the everyday chatter and tune in to birdsong?
Share your magical walking moments with us on social media using the hashtag #MagicOfWalking.
Tell us your #MagicOfWalking story to be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 shopping voucher!

WALK TO SCHOOL WEEK
During National Walking Month we will also celebrate Walk to School Week (20–24 May). We will be encouraging families across the country to ditch the school run and walk to school for the whole week, with special activity packs available for pupils.
Last year, over 365,000 pupils across the UK took part. This year's challenge encourages children to travel actively to school every day of the week. Meeting various magical beings along the way, they will learn about how active travel benefits individuals, communities and the planet.
